A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想象力
Imagination
I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... And that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities.
我喜欢胡言乱语——它能唤醒脑细胞。幻想是生活的必要组成部分。这是一种用错误的望远镜观察生命的方式…这让你可以嘲笑生活中的所有现实。
Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.
我们的思想被我们头脑中的主导思想所吸引,这些磁铁吸引着与我们主导思想的本质相协调的力量、人和生活环境。
Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice.
冷漠可以被热情所克服,而热情只能被两件事所激发:第一,一个充满想象力的理想;第二,一个将理想付诸实践的明确而清晰的计划。
Imagination is a very high sort of seeing, which does not come by study, but by the intellect being where and what it sees, by sharing the path, or circuits of things through forms, and so making them translucid to others.
想象是一种很高的视觉,它不是通过学习而来的,而是通过智慧的存在,通过它所看到的地方和所看到的东西,通过通过形式分享事物的路径或循环,从而使它们对他人变得清晰。
The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
我们贫穷的原因是我们没有想象力。有很多人在积累他们认为是巨大的财富,但那只是钱……他们不知道如何享受它,因为他们没有想象力。
Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior.
就在这个时候,在想象中我是一个伟大的战士,在现实生活中,我很好地利用了更多的力量,因为我不再被护士带到学校,而是让我自己来保护我的弟弟,我的弟弟比我小两岁。
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
我相信想象力比知识更强大——神话比历史更强大——梦想比事实更强大——希望永远战胜经验——欢笑是治愈悲伤的良药——爱比死亡更强大。
The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.
我所画的世界通过暗示画的四个边缘之外有什么来激发想象力。我认为超越机遇或挑战的四个方面是你在商业中需要的基本技能之一。
I don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.
我不想贬低人们的个性,但我认为人们基本上是一样的。人们非常相似。如果你有足够的想象力,你就能感觉到你个人从未做过的事情。这是表演。
The Polar Express is about faith, and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It's also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen, the kind of world we all believed in as children, but one that disappears as we grow older.
极地快车是关于信仰的,以及维持信仰的想象力的力量。它还关乎渴望生活在一个魔法可以发生的世界里,那种我们小时候都相信的世界,但随着年龄的增长就会消失。
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
成为一名优秀的摄影师需要很大的想象力。成为一名画家,你不需要太多的想象力,因为你可以创造东西。但在摄影中,一切都是那么平凡;在你学会看到不平凡之前,你需要仔细观察。
Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about.
许多人设想了从未在现实中出现过或知道存在过的共和国和君主国;因为我们所行的与所当行的相距甚远,那弃绝已经行的,只取应该行的,反倒要成就。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
今天,我开始明白爱是什么,如果它存在……当我们分开的时候,我们都感到缺少了另一半。我们不完整,就像一本丢了第一卷的两卷书。这就是我想象中的爱:不在时的不完整。
I've always loved comic books. As a kid, I used to read cowboy stories and historical comics about other worlds, unknown places that would take me out of myself and which helped to develop my imagination.
我一直很喜欢漫画书。当我还是个孩子的时候,我经常阅读关于其他世界的牛仔故事和历史漫画,这些未知的地方会让我脱离自我,帮助我发展想象力。
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything God like about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything
想象力是勇敢的声音。如果上帝有什么像上帝的地方,那就是它。他敢于想象一切
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.
白天做梦的人能领悟许多事情,而那些只在夜里做梦的人却未能察觉。
Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
想象的作品应该用通俗易懂的语言来写;它们越纯粹是想象出来的,就越需要简单明了。
You see things and you say, “Why?" But I dream things that never were and I say, "Why not?"
你看到一些东西,你会说,“为什么?”但我梦想着从未有过的事情,我说:“为什么不呢?”
